Since a house fire in October, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $2,550 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $850 • Rent top-up: $1,270 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sabine

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sabine

    • Sabine Charlotte FrankOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $430, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Anyango Imani Nakamya

    Best of luck, Sabine. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

    • Kemi Vivian Falana

      Good luck, Sabine. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.

      • Kamau David Karanja

        Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!

          Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Chiang Mai.
